Based on the question above, the best answer for this question would be:

a.        She was ravenous for a son-in-law.

The figurative language is evident in this statement because it compares the adjective to the subject, it is how the speaker would describe in an exaggerated way.

The correct answer is A.


The statement "She was ravenous for a son-in-law" contains figurative language. The specific type of figurative language used here is hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a form of figurative laungage that uses extreme exaggeration. Here, the statement implies that she is very, very hungry for a son-in-law. This is a greatly exaggerated way of saying that she really wants a son-in-law. By using figurative language, the author makes clear how greatly she desires a son-in-law.

How does Caliban show that he is more intelligent than Stephano and Trinculo?
GuDViN [60]
In scene 2, Caliban is still viewed as a "worker beast," in spite of being uncovered as a human. Stephano and Trinculo, however ostensibly less savvy than Caliban, still treat him like he is not really human in view of his local status and skin shading; and the way that Caliban endures this treatment and verbally abusing demonstrates that he acknowledges this mediocrity and Stephano's shaky expert also. Caliban demonstrates that he is more insightful than Stephano and Trinculo is that he understands that opportunity from Prospero is more critical than apparel or wine.
